Joel McHale: Obama couldn’t save 'Community'

Joel McHale was surprised when NBC canceled “Community” — in part because President Barack Obama asked him about the show after the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.

“After President Obama asked me if it was coming back or not at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, I really thought, ‘well this seems to be in the zeitgeist,’” McHale told Variety on Tuesday night in New York while promoting his new film, “Deliver Us From Evil.”
